When you play Silent Night are you playing;

A. A holiday song.
B. A jazz tune.
C. Western swing.
D. A Christmas song.(Do not tell anyone
I said Christmas.

"D"!!!!!!!!!

How are you, Chuck? It's always nice to see you pop in.

Al

I play the CHRISTMAS song Silent Night. Yes, I'm a Christian and I still believe in Christmas!

Has anyone got a nice, tabbed C6th arrangement for this Christmas song?

Fred

G'morning Al, nice to see you've popped in too! If anyone comes up with a C6th Tab of Silent Night, (one of my very favorite CHRISTMAS Carols) I'd appreciate an email of it also. Merry Christmas every one! dan

Fred and Dan, check your email. Merry Christmas.

Thank you Andy, very much! Merry Christmas!

I believe it should be a Christmas Song...in keeping with Christ. Some would call it a Holiday song which, if you go back to the original meaning of the word "Holiday", you'd find it comes from Holy Day. Therefore, it is both a Christmas song and a Holiday song ...

I don't see what the fuss is about, folks. Unless someone wants to keep this relevant to non-pedal steel guitar, it will be moved to Music.
May you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanks a lot Andy! I use C-E-G-A-C-E tuning on a 6-string - I guess I should just crank up the bottom string to C# to suit your arrangement - is that right?

Thanks again!

Fred

You don't have to be a Christian to believe in Christmas.

Since it's such a simple pure song and I'm a beginner, I think I'll try to figure it out on my own. But I would like to know what advantages there are in using C# instead of C.
